Yikes! Did Theorin have to look like a member of the Addams Family? Check out Derilova as Elektra. Love Meier! She doesn't looke like Elektra's granny as usual.
The most witching of all voices, hers. If callas sounded like the sirens mus have sounded to Ulysses, as once said, she sounds like Morgana and ancient northern sorceresses must have been heard by those around them. Bewitching her artistry here.
Meier's performance has an underlying grasp of the music that brings her very close to the composer's mentality when writing it, as if to tackle the text from his reading of it as expresset by the music he wrote out of it and for it. she gets Callas-like in the enacted accomplishment of many virtues and entirely on her own and unique.
I had never truly heard Klytemnestra's music, it seems to me now, because it had never been sung like this before. Meier confirms that no matter how odd, angular and eerie, vocal lines must always be sung as pure music and worked from within this "straightjacket", in Callas' famous understanding of her professionl.
Superb interpretation
